New Driveways & RV Pads in Holt, MI
Holt sits just six miles north of our shop in Mason, so we keep a steady presence here. Many of the larger lots between Aurelius Road and Cedar Street still run on gravel drives, and we have built or refreshed dozens of them over the years.
About Our Work in Holt
Holt is one of our closest communities and a regular stop for the truck.
New driveways and RV pads are not just dump-and-go jobs. We start with site evaluation, proper excavation, a compacted base layer, then finish with the right surface aggregate for the load. Whether you are building a brand new home or carving out an RV pad on the side of your property, we handle it from bare ground to finished surface.

Ground Conditions in Holt
The Holt-Delhi corridor sits on a mix of sandy loam and clay pockets that shifts every few properties. North of Cedar Street the soil drains well; south of Aurelius it gets heavier and holds water longer. We test the ground before we spec the base so we are not using one recipe on every job.
Older Holt subdivisions have tight easements where the truck can only back in from one direction, which forces material staging off the property.
We stage the trailer on a public shoulder with permission, run smaller loads with the single-axle truck, and finish tight drives in one day without blocking neighbors.
Regraded and topped a 250-foot driveway off Aurelius Road that had washed out during the 2026 spring rains. We reset the crown, cut a swale on the low side to shed water off the drive instead of down it, and finished with fresh 23A limestone.

How It Works
Site Visit
Mark walks the area with you, discusses the intended use (daily driver vs. RV vs. boat), and lays out the dimensions.
Excavate
Topsoil, sod, and unsuitable material are removed to depth. Most pads need 6-10 inches excavated to make room for proper base and surface.
Base Layer
Compacted base stone goes down first. This is what holds up to the weight without settling.
Surface Layer
Finish aggregate (typically 1 1/4 crushed limestone) is spread, leveled, and compacted.
Drainage & Crown
Driveway is crowned for water runoff. Pads are pitched gently away from buildings.
Questions from Holt Homeowners
Do you serve Holt, MI?
Yes. Holt is 6 miles from our shop in Mason, MI, about a 12-minute drive. We work in Holt regularly and treat it as part of our core service area.
How quickly can you get to a job in Holt?
For estimates, usually within a couple of days. For the actual work, scheduling depends on the season — busy spring and fall mean 1 to 3 weeks out, off-season much faster. Mark will give you a real timeline at the estimate, not a vague "we'll get to it."
How much excavation does a new driveway need?
Most residential driveways need 6-8 inches excavated to make room for a proper base. RV pads usually need 8-10 inches because of the heavier loads.
How much does a new gravel driveway cost?
Cost depends on length, width, and how much excavation is needed. A typical 100-foot residential driveway runs in the $3,000-7,000 range. Free estimates always.
Do RV pads need to be different from regular driveways?
Yes. RVs put a lot of weight on a small footprint, so RV pads need a thicker base layer and a heavier-duty aggregate. We size it for the actual RV.
How long does a new install take?
Most residential driveways are done in 1-2 days. RV pads are typically done in a single day.
